At Kindred Chiropractic in Browns Bay, North Shore, we provide care using the Blair Upper Cervical Technique — a precise and gentle approach to the upper neck (C1 and C2). This part of the spine plays a crucial role in the brain-body connection and the way the nervous system functions.
Why Seek Upper Cervical Care?
The upper neck is an important area for posture, balance, and nervous system communication. People often reach out to us when they are experiencing things like:
Ongoing headaches or migraines
Dizziness, vertigo, or balance changes
Concussion recovery
Whiplash or birth-related neck stress
Nervous system stress or fatigue
Challenges adapting to daily life such as poor sleep, low energy, or brain fog
Why Kindred Chiropractic?

Dr Devon Lampard Ali has completed significant training in Blair Upper Cervical care and integrates this with her background in neurological and family-focused chiropractic.
As a team, we are committed to providing thorough assessments and tailored care plans for people seeking this approach in Auckland and across New Zealand.
